- In this video you'll learn about PSA. I explain what PSA is, why it might be elevated and what that means. The next steps after a diagnosis of an elevated PSA are also covered.

Excellent video Dr. Eric!!! Excellent and very helpful!! Thank you!!!
So many useful insights you provided. Great.
Thanks Dr. It was very helpful video
Very helpful informations 😊
Doctor thankyou for thatgreat information about PSA.
Thank so much.
im going to South land in Fullerton Thursday to see a Urologist.
Very informative Dr. Eric. I am 69 years old and getting my PSA test every year for the past ten years. Last year it was 1.9 but this year it came as 9.1. I am worried why such a big change in one year. I am trying to get an appointment with urologist through my family Dr. Any suggestions about this unusual PSA level. Thanks
A jump that big in a single year is more likely to be from inflammation than cancer, but it's definitely a good idea to get checked. At a minimum a repeat PSA in a few months would be a good idea.
I'm 30 years old and my PSA is 8.75 with free PSA ratio at 0.07. I've done PSA multiple times in 4 months and my history results are:
1. 9.55 (September 2022 - first check-up)
2. 6.85 (October 2022 - second check-up)
3. 6.78 (November 2022 - after 3 weeks of antibiotics)
4. 8.49 (November 2022 - check-up at another hospital, after another 1 week of antibiotics)
5. 7.03 (December 2022 - check-up at another hospital)
6. 8.76 (December 2022 - after a course of tamsulosin)
The free PSA ratio was never higher than 0.08. Would you recommend to conduct a biopsy in this case?
Thanks Dr Eric, I have recently been diagnosed with prostrate cancer that has mastesised to my bones so seeing your prostrate biopsy video & this video has helped me understand the prostrate biopsy I have had and what PSA is. I have already been told my cancer is not curable, but treatment may help extend what time left I have.
I’m sorry to hear that.
This may not mean much but I would try watching Reiki videos it’s energy healing. Here is a video watch both as many times as you want per day with volume up. czcams.com/video/eNZqZ1YUwlw/video.html
@@eb4676 thankyou I will try it.
I’m sorry to hear this. How are you? 🙏❤️
- Dr my question is : PSA = 1 for 18 years old boy is it normal ? any sign of inflammation or else ?
Will it hurt
I had low PSA results for years... i.e. .46, .96 etc. The my dumb ass doctor put me on Testosterone Replacement Therapy and within 2 years, my PSA climbed to 3.3. I'm 72 and was concerned, so now I'm facing a MRI and uncertainty.....I would like you to address this issue of TRT and PSA...
Prostate cancer is over diagnosed and over treated. Please consult several Urologists and read the literature. Any procedure has side effects the urologist may not tell you in order for you to sign up for a procedure you may not need end regret for ever.
Doctor Eric, I am 50, my PSA test result is below 1, but my free PSA ratio test result is 0.2, which is below the standard level 0.25. What could that mean? what follow up tests you will recommend?
Free PSA has no clinical meaning when the total PSA less than 4.
@@DoctorEric thank you so much! 😃
I would say that a runner should back off from running before the psa just like you would for a race.
A day of recovery for every day run before the psa test.
My doctor told me that only bicycling would cause the Psa to go up. For me that was wrong. I also think the stress of going to a doctor raises the psa. It’s kind of like going to race. In the last half hour before the race you have urinate often but afterwards not at all.
Do your own study!
So PSA is involved in the thickness of seamen? Does that have any relationship to finasteride? Apparently it gives a Lowe psa rating but also makes seamen more watery
My dad passed away in 2005 from prostate cancer that had spread into the bones. So I have been getting my tests done for a while now. I am a 52 year old male. In May 2021 my psa levels were 0.25. As of August 2021 my psa jumped up to 2.4. My urologist has me scheduled for the biopsy this coming Wednesday. I am quite worried about it. Thank you for your videos.
Hi. Hv u done biopsy and what r results
How did it go??x
Everything came back good.
What would typically cause a PSA of 4.5 and a free PSA of 23% to change to 5.9 and 31% respectively within two weeks?
I had my last PSA and it was 25. It had been 15 for years. I did MRI and my PI RADS score was 2. I am through with PSA tests. I have been watching this cancer for 7 years and I am lucky I did not do radiation or hormone treatment.
I have a PSA of 10.41 does that mean I have prostate cancer
But I am 45 years old
You show charts and diagrams on your thumbnail but don't show them during the video. I think that would be helpful.
Never have your PSA checked wright after you have had sex or you just had a bowel movement a Doctor told me it would make your PSA results show high. I am not sure this is true but that's what I was tolded.
My husband's Psa came back at 30.29
My husband just got PSA results and it is 30.29
What is your husband's current status?
